While I frequently run scheduled bash shell scripts via a bash.bat file as you describe, I don't think it is necessary here... I think Trey can run rsync.exe directly if he really wants to.
I tested running 'ls /cygdrive' from within a cmd.exe dos prompt and it worked...
Microsoft Windows 2000 [Version 5.00.2195] (C) Copyright 1985-2000 Microsoft Corp.
C:\>c:\tools\cygwin\bin\ls /cygdrive/ c e f n s
C:\>c:\tools\cygwin\bin\ls /cygdrive/c AUTOEXEC.BAT MSDOS.SYS ....
(I'm assuming rsync would work similarly to ls)
While I don't know the cygwin architecture details, it looks like the /cygdrive functionality is a part of cygwin.dll and can be used without a parent bash shell.

But can you do that if you are not running it from the Cygwin prompt? I didn't do that because we were starting it with the scheduler. Will that still work?
Yes. Write a small 'myjob.bat' file with something like this in it: -------- @echo off C: chdir C:\cygwin\bin bash --login -i -c "~/myscript.sh" --------
Use scheduler to run 'myjob.bat'. It will execute 'myscript.sh' under bash and from there you can do anything bash can do.
